Kim Butts Pauly presents an overview of transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS). Great detail on how it actually works and a take away that this is a very promising technique but its complicated with a lot of dosing parameters and uncertainty remaining. Gave useful references #BrainStimConf

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to stimulate deep w/in the brain w/o the need for brain surgery, and without actually making a physical lesion in the brain (i.e. FUS or pallidotomy)? This paper provides 'proof of concept' that a transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) approach may be achievable.

The only reason I ever learned what a scientist was—or how to become one—was because a diversity grant at my undergrad recruited me from a biology class. I had the highest score in the class (104%). That experience changed my life. And I held onto that dream through an incredibly difficult decade.

I’m excited to be presenting at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping in Australia this year. I fell in love with this conference and community in 2022 and it was where I first became inspired to study focused ultrasound. Looking forward to seeing some of you there #OHBM2025

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

John Tuthill, a scientist who studies brain control of movement, was banned from NIH today due to Trump directives. He was scheduled to give a seminar about his work. But all visiting seminars have been banned. Exchanging ideas is the lifeblood of science, and this will harm progress. 🧪

Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Today, I introduced legislation with Sen. Hawley to do just that. We cannot continue to allow big banks to rip-off Americans by charging outrageously high credit card interest rates of 25 or 30%. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...
